romney has waffled on that. on education, despite what you hear, they're the same on gun control, neither will touch it because of the gun lobby. on abortion and gay marriage, they're the exact opposite of each other. so, lz, what's so hard, do you think for undecided voters to make up their mind over? >> i think it's the apathy that they feel towards the president. you're right. it can't be clearer in terms of the two men being different. if you're undecided at this point, the only thing i can think of is you're waiting for the october jobs report just to see one last time if we truly are heading in the right direction. but you remember a few months ago where we were trying to figure out if we were better off four years ago than we are today. i've looked at things like the jobs report numbers and how this time four years ago, we had lost 500,000 jobs in this country. and now we've created more than 100,000 jobs. may not sound like a lot but that's a huge swing. when you look at that, i think it's pretty clear.
